Where can I find a bunch of John and Jane Does?

February 19, 2007 8:51 AM

Does anyone happen to remember the name of the LiveJournal community that existed a few years ago, that publicly posted the password, so that anyone could log in and make posts about whatever they wanted? It was an open community for everyone and anyone. There may have been more than one, but I only knew of one.

Or, can anyone point out any blogs/wikis/myspace accounts/etc that share the same concept right now? Or historically? I am trying to gather a list together for some research I am doing, and this is a little hard to google. Basically, I'd love a link to any site that used to have or currently has anonymous, open posting.

I just found this site http://weareonlyhuman.com/ and I know about postsecret, but I know there are others out there. I just can't find them right now. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Don't know about that community, but how about ljsecret and grouphug? Also, not necessarily anonymous, but you can browse the public posts at futureme.

I used to love Letters to Anon, but a google search shows that they're really, really dead. But it currently does have anonymous, open posting.

As far as secret communities on LJ (aside from the aforementioned LJ Secret) there's: LJ Secret (Over 18 version), MusicSecret, and TextSecret. Another one that's kinda dead-er is OHBYTHEWAY which has a public username and password so you can post anonymously if you want to (community currently has moderated membership).
